Edgware Road

Edgware Road is a major road in London that travels through different boroughs, but it is the southern end that attracts the most visitors. Famed for its Middle Eastern cuisine, Edgware Road is often nicknamed Little Cairo or Little Cyprus. Authentic Lebanese restaurants line the street, as well as other tastes of the Middle East, and many people also frequent the outside cafes to smoke shisha. At night, businesses sell kebabs to late-night West London revellers, but during the day stallholders come out to sell their wares at Church Street Market. At one end of the market you can buy fruit and vegetables, yet at the eastern end you can find yourself in the renowned Marylebone antiques district. The southern tip of Edgware Road meets Marble Arch, so this is a great place to visit when out on a shopping trip. Marble Arch marks the end of London's major shopping high street and is home to the popular Primark fashion store. Here, you can also take a stroll through one of London's biggest green spaces, Hyde Park.
